Race 2 of the NWTC Winter Series 2013/2014

Folks,

                                                      EVERYONE MUST SIGN ON

We are back this Sunday the 8th Dec. Sign on opens in the Marquee from 9.30am. The Adult race will start at 11am, the kids race will start @ 10.30am. The Adult race goes the normal route via the Bay Road and Bay Road park while the kids race goes in the opposite direction heading towards the peace bridge and back.

The reason we moved the start time back to 11am is because the weather forecast for this weekend again suggests frost. Please understand that we are doing this to allow more time for the sheltered areas of the course to fully defrost. We, in the interests of safety want to ensure the course is the safest it can be, given the lightning speeds ALL of you will be doing.

So sign on opens at 9.30am, Adult race starts at 11am , Kids Race starts at 10.30am.

Adults £6

Kids £0

EVERYONE MUST SIGN ON

there might even be some spot prizes and a few boys wearing Santa Hats.......
